Very beautiful place, awesome scenes at every place. The lavender fields have lil activities within them which is super cool. There is also an expansive gift shop that offers everything you could think of in lavender. The Solarflower is also a cool site to see. The associates are always nice and willing to help. Highly recommend, but make sure to visit in the summer to see the Lavender plants in bloom. ?

Magical. The grounds are so peaceful and calming. The gift shop is brimming with tasty treats, body and household products, etc. and there’s a lovely fairy trail you can wander around a pond and under a covered bridge!

What a beautiful farm. If you guys understand the pure properties of what lavender does this is a great place to ask questions and feel the peacefulness this place has. They have an awesome with all things lavender including infused honey in which was the reason we went bc they sell out so fast and ur only allowed 2 per household. But when I tasted it and how I felt immediately was a amazing and lavender for a man who has ptsd and anxiety issues lavender is like a medication to me and calms me and I'm able to take deep breaths and it really relaxes me. But to keep going on our visit and what they have , u name it they have it in thier awesome little store. And u can freely walk around this huge property and big lake and u can walk it all they have atrail around the lake ,that has a fairy village with hundreds of little houses and did set ups for them and it's so cool to see everything ,also u can walk the farm as well with a huge chicken ? and hen houses with like 10 that are very unique and beautiful hens and it's well managed and truly an awesome interaction bc they come right. To the fences and a few lit kids there loved the interactions they were having , but also just b carefully if ur gonna walk ur kids around the lake bc I did see a big snake near the front side of the covered bridge I didn't see it's head but it wasn't a copperhead but darker in color but to steer with caution don't let then near the edges of the pond , but the lavender gardens were beautiful and u should Def go check this place out Def a great mid day getaway to spend an hour or so with ur bestie or. Ur kid or husband enjoy what this farm has to offer. 5 stars in my eyes. GO GET UR HONEY ITS MAGICAL

The moment you walk in, you are met with the sweet scent of lavender ?First time walking around the place and it was beautiful! It's definitely best to go on a sunny day and the aroma in the air was so nice.Walked around the farm, did the scavenger hunt, and browsed the wares at the gift shop with our dog!By the end of the walk, our dog was tired, but happy ? Would recommend coming here if you're looking for a short, but fun trip!

Are you looking for a relaxing 1-2 hours? This is an active lavender farm with lots of options of things to do if you like walking through flowers, fields, and fairy filled woodsy areas. For about $8 each you can take a ride on the purple electric train. It's a 15 minute tour around the property and educational/informative. There's a gift shop (lemonade, cookies, souvenirs, crafts), giant chess or checkers game and lots of picnic options if you bring something to eat. Bathrooms were 3 clean port-a-potties and a handwash station or hand sanitizer. We visited on a sunny weekday in early August. Parking lot was pretty full when we left. Lots of spots to take great pix. I would come back again, especially in nice weather.

A lovely lavender farm to visit with friends, family, or just by yourself.The garden grounds are all open, and you can freely walk amongst them. There are also some areas set up where you can bring in your own food and have your own picnic.The gift shop has many options that are all lavender-inspired.The only suggestion I would make is that the farm incorporate a small cafe menu for people where you could order some food options, if you don't bring in your own food.Until that happens, I recommend stopping at The Cooking Company down the road to buy a gourmet sandwich or salad to feast on as you gaze at their lavendar gardens.

What a lovely place!My husband took me here because I'm obsessed with lavender. The farm is nice but there are many more surprises I didn’t expect!!There's no entrance nor parking fee. But enough staff helping and super nice/friendly. There's also a cute little lavender train (little fee). Overall very good for family to spend some time.Super dog friendly so our puppy had a great time (and lots of attention from people lol). The gift shop have a huge variety of products from human to dog to food... and I really like all their products are animal safe and friendly too!There's a cute trial in the back around the pond, and there're "fairies" along the way, which make me smile and brighten up my energy and spirit, you can sense the thoughts and heart that was put into it. We also bought some lavender lemonade and enjoy some time by the farm and by the pond.When chatting with some people visiting, we learned that many just keep returning as well as re-purchase the products. So I'm excited to try the things we bought (also for our dog).There's a very beautiful house next to it I think it's the owner's house. The whole set up actually inspire me to create some place like this after my husband retire.Will definitely come back and bring friends!

This is a charming place to spend a few hours. I think two to three hours would be more than enough, depending on what you do there. They have beautiful lavender fields with a large gazebo and some benches and lawn games. It's great for photos and for sitting and just enjoying the scented air. There's a beautiful gift shop with handmade items. They're not cheap but they're pretty much all made locally. You can take the Lavender Train for $8 per person. The driver tells you a little about lavender and about the history of the place while he throws in a few funny jokes. It's really a beautiful piece of property. You can bring your lunch and sit at a picnic table or on a bench and just enjoy your time. The lavender blooms in July so I'm not sure what it would be like early or late in season. My only complaint with the place, and why I didn't give it all the stars, is that they don't have regular restrooms. They have port a potties. Really? Spend some money and put in real bathrooms. For handicapped people, this would not work, having to go into port a potties. We had a woman in our group who was with a walker, and she couldn't use the bathroom while she was there. Honestly, I don't know how they get away with that, with ADA laws being what they are.

I found your place on a rainy Sunday. I walked the lavender labyrinth in peace. I found the fairies surrounding your beautiful Pond most joyful and the hugest Blue Heron I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for the greetings from a very spirited gal in your gift shop.

What a treasure. This Lavender Farm is an absolute joy. I visited this place with a few close cabinet members of mine and was absolutely blown away. I am not ashamed to say I leaped, frolicked, and ran through the lavender fields, quickly forgetting all my troubles. My worries melted away as I sat watching a gentle breeze make the lavender fields dance to and fro.The staff is all friendly and professional, and definitely well versed in the world of lavender farming. The field staff were able to educate me on trimming techniques and I was extremely grateful.Additionally, the train ride was an absolute blast. Mike had me laughing until my sides hurt and then, I laughed some more. He seemed very excited to talk about the farm and was very personable.

Beautiful place! Arrived bright and early, and had to be patient as I waited for the Farm to open. I immensely enjoyed the train ride. Jack was very good in explaining everything. Had a really lovely day! The refreshing lavender, honey, and lemon drink was truly cooling. My very first Lavender drink! I'm looking forward to visiting again.

Pretty place, a bit confusing on the train rides. It says online lap children are free but when I asked about my 2 year old son sitting on my lap was told that he needed a ticket because he has a behind and is walking and talking. I thought that was a bit much because he would have been fine sitting on my lap so I didn’t end up going on the train. Which pretty much is the best part. Other than that pretty places to walk around, lavender lemonade was good tasted like a tea lemonade I enjoyed it and you could taste and smell the lavender. They do have a cute scavenger hunt for kids although other people there kept moving the rocks we were supposed to find and it was very humid so we didn’t get to finish it we had gone all around 3 times and couldn’t find some of the rocks. I did get a lavender mint candle which smells very nice. Other than that for driving 45 min I’d say it is over rated. The lavender was dried out some bushes were pretty but I think the photos are edited because it just didn’t look like it does online and it does say this is peak season. Overall friendly people and a cute place though!
